How do I record an ACH Late Return Chargeback (failed payment) in Jackrabbit?

Jackrabbit automatically records failed ACH payments on the family record. However, because ACH payments can be refunded through your Jackrabbit system, there’s a five-day waiting period. This delay ensures the payment has fully cleared before a refund is allowed – protecting you from accidentally issuing a refund for a payment that had already declined.

Follow these steps to manually record an ACH Chargeback in Jackrabbit if outside of the five days:

  1. Go to the Family record > Transactions tab and locate the payment.
  2. Select the R Button.
  3. Select Refund by Different Payment Method and then choose the Record  Refund in Jackrabbit Only option to open the Refund Transaction window.
  4. Update the following fields:
    • Post Date: Change the date field to reflect the notification date.
    • Note: In the note field add the PSP# and the reason from the notification.
  5. Use the checkboxes to select the fees linked to the payment and click Next.
  6. In the Are Fees Still Due? window, select Due.
  7. Click Submit Refund.
